Wedding Music

There are many possibilities for music at a wedding ceremony. Often the organist provides most of the music; sometimes a vocal soloist or instrumentalist (trumpeter, harpist, bagpiper) is added; occasionally small ensembles (string or brass quartet) are hired.

Whatever you decide, please remember the wedding ceremony is a worship service, and this informs the selection of music and performing media. It is the policy of the Session of Ardmore Presbyterian Church that musical selections, particularly vocal, have a clear connection to worship (sacred texts rather than theater or popular culture songs) and are presented “live” by individuals (rather than via pre-recorded music).

Our music director, Gary Garletts, has provided some samples that you might helpful as you make your decision.
